200 MEMBERS!!! 🎉
We set a goal to reach 200 members by the end of 2026, and we officially hit it ahead of schedule!
But we aren’t stopping at 200. Now let’s see just how far we can surpass that goal before the year is over!
Growth is exciting, but our biggest goal goes far beyond a number. We want each and every member to see and feel the value ESTBA provides. We want you making connections, building relationships, supporting one another, growing your businesses, and getting involved in the community we all share. When 2027 rolls around, we want every member to say, “Absolutely, I’m renewing!”
A HUGE thank you to our Board for all the work that happens behind the scenes. From planning events and workshops to brainstorming new ideas and constantly asking, “What else can we do for our members?” There are a lot of conversations, planning, and moving pieces that go into everything ESTBA does.
This year we rolled out our Senior Scholarship Program for the very first time, awarding scholarships to seven local graduating seniors, we launched quarterly workshops, and next year we already have some even bigger things in the works for our members! 👀
We’ve packed this year with Coffee & Collaboration, Business After Hours, luncheons, Business & Bubbles, Shop Local, workshops, ribbon cuttings, Member Spotlights, and everything else in between!
Most importantly, THANK YOU to our 200 members. Thank you for showing up, participating, sponsoring, sharing, supporting other members, inviting someone new, and believing in what we are building together.
We truly want to see every one of you succeed. Because when our local businesses succeed, East St. Tammany succeeds.
Here’s to 200... and counting! 🥂
Stronger businesses. Stronger connections. A stronger East St. Tammany.
Let’s keep growing together!
